I’ve been curious about VOIP with Vox for quite some time now… I’ve used Skype before and it is awesome. It works Really well except your PC has to be on to make or receive calls and you don’t have a phone number that can be called to from any other phone network. So, Skype works well but with limitations.

I came across and read about Vox ages ago and was quite interested to try it but it’s not free… until last week. I got a call from the guys at voxinfinity who offered me a 20 days, no obligations free trial. They delivered the Vox Box for free. inside the box is the handset, a wireless ADSL router/handset cradle, power supply/lightning protector, the necessary cables and easy to follow setup instructions.

So anyway, I unwrapped this 20 day “gift”, read the instructions and was ready to setup when… as luck would have it, my PC died… something about some file being missing or corrupt.. but that’s another story that I’d rather not get into.

Eager to get this thing setup, I dug out the old faithful laptop and followed the easy instructions to get all setup and ready to use my new toy… Now if only someone would call me so that I can test the damn thing before the end of my 20 day free trial…

Calls are cheap enough and you get a website login where you can check your usage and also your revenue earned. Yes, that’s right; you earn a rebate for every call you receive. Calls are also cheaper, international calls in particular, while Vox to Vox is free… so imagine all the people who you usually call also had Vox. That would surely reduce your phone bill.

I’m not gonna go into any details about cost and all the technical jargon, that’s all found on the Vox website http://www.vox.co.za/ProductADSLPhone.aspx so got check it out for yourself.
